Elephant Mountain is full of elephant statues. I was invited by a friend and followed without much thought, but it turned out to be quite a climb... Just when I thought we must be nearing the summit, the endless stairs proved otherwise... We took different paths for the ascent and descent. Next time, I wonder if I can go to see the night view. I climbed in the morning, but there were quite a few people doing the same. Location: 110 Taipei City, Xinyi District

Taipei: Yangmingshan/Beitou Hot Springs, wait until the cherry blossoms are in full bloom Taipei Citywalk, start a day of admiring cherry blossoms at Yangmingshan, experiencing Beitou Hot Springs, and checking in at Taipei 101. Yangmingshan is Taipei's backyard, and every year from February to March is the season of blooming flowers, with colorful azaleas and early cherry blossoms competing for beauty. By the end of February, the Yaezakura cherry blossoms are blooming competitively, and when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the misty clouds surround the green hills, and soaking in a sulfur hot spring is like a springtime encounter. 🌸 Flower Viewing Spots: Yangmingshan Flower Clock (Pic 2-7) Yangmingshan Fountain (Pic 1) Yangmingshan Second Parking Lot (Pic 9) 🚍 How to get there: Take the small 8 bus from the Jiantan MRT station, or take the 129/small 9 bus from the Beitou MRT station to reach the above flower viewing spots. 📝 Flower Viewing Tips: 1⃣ The Yangmingshan Flower Clock is planted along the stream with colorful azaleas, which bloom at the end of February together with the early cherry blossoms, creating a layered effect. 2⃣ The Yangmingshan Fountain is tightly surrounded by Yaezakura cherry blossoms, resembling light pink clouds, and the combination with the fountain is very photogenic. 3⃣ The cherry blossoms at the Second Parking Lot bloom earlier, and by the time of visit, it is nearing the end of the flower season. 4⃣ The bus schedule provided by Google Maps for the Yangmingshan area is not accurate; wait for the bus based on the electronic display. 5⃣ Yangmingshan also has other nice attractions such as Xiaoyoukeng and Qixing Mountain (my visit failed due to heavy fog at the mountain top). You can take the 108 bus (circular mountain bus) from the Yangmingshan bus terminal, but pay attention to the schedule as there are not many buses. ♨️ Beitou Hot Springs: Yangmingshan is an active volcano with abundant geothermal resources. The hot springs in the Beitou area are natural green sulfur springs, which are said to contain trace amounts of radium and have healing effects, one of only two in the world. In addition to hot spring hotels, you can also choose specialized hot spring shops. I chose the 'Emperor Pool Hot Spring Royal Meal Pavilion', which can be reached by the small 8/small 9 bus. The hot spring is located in the sulfur stream of Yangmingshan, surrounded by numerous spring eyes steaming with sulfur vapor. After soaking in the sulfur spring, the skin really becomes more delicate, worth a try. ⭕️ The private bathhouse requires at least two people (500 Taiwan dollars), with a 30-minute limit on holidays and 40 minutes on weekdays; the public pool is not time-limited (250), and the locker requires a 20 coin. ❗️ If you choose the mixed public pool, bring a swimsuit. ‼️ There is a restaurant inside, and if you spend more than 400 on a meal, you can soak in the public pool for free. 🗻 Sulfur Valley: After soaking in the hot springs, I checked in at Sulfur Valley (Pic 10-11), a 15-minute walk from the Emperor Pool Hot Springs. A large amount of sulfur vapor spews from the ground, accompanied by boiling and erupting spring water, making a hissing sound, a spectacular scene. 🏢 Taipei 101: After the tour, I checked in at several classic spots of Taipei 101. 1⃣ Takeuchi Izakaya (Pic 12-13), walk south for 10 minutes from Exit 2 of the Xiangshan MRT station to compress the towering skyscraper and old house into one picture, creating a beauty of old and new integration. 2⃣ Xiangshan (Pic 14-16), enter the mountain from the 'Xiangshan Trail' entrance on Google Maps, choose the right path at the first fork, and reach the photography platform in 15 minutes. But it is recommended to continue walking up for 10 minutes to the Six Giant Rocks viewing platform, where the view is more open. The mountain trail is all stone steps with handrails and street lights, making climbing effortless.

Xiangshan Park, formerly known as Zhongqiang Park, is located in the Xinyi Planning Area, Lane 150, Section 5, Xinyi Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan. It is built along the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It is a long strip-shaped park that contains basketball courts and skating. There are many facilities such as playground, pavilion, combined play equipment and healthy trails.

Today is my last day in Taipei! It felt like I was blessed with divine assistance, as I managed to visit all the important spots without missing a single one. Perhaps because I was traveling alone and didn't spend much time taking photos, my efficiency was super high. 🗺️Itinerary Starting from the Rainbow Taipei photo spot at Exit 6 of Ximending, I then went to Longshan Temple, followed by a visit to Xiao Wang Stewed Melon, which is very close to Longshan Temple. Next, I headed to Dihua Street, had lunch at Take Village Izakaya, went to Elephant Mountain in the afternoon, visited Taipei 101 in the evening, and ended my day at the Feminist Bookstore. ⚠️Notes Longshan Temple has a prayer guide, so don't worry if you haven't done your homework beforehand. Besides Take Village Izakaya and Elephant Mountain being great spots for photos with Taipei 101, the Taipei City Government location is actually better! (But I was lazy, and I already had a lot of content to post today, so I didn't go in the evening). The view from the top of Taipei 101 is similar to Hong Kong's Sky 100, so I didn't spend money on the observation deck. The Feminist Bookstore is a bookstore focused on feminism, so those interested can check it out. 💬Travel Thoughts I walked the entire way from Ximending to Dihua Street. Since I spent most of yesterday on transportation and didn't get a chance to walk around and explore, I missed out on many great little eateries. So today, I forced myself to take less public transport🚌. Strolling through the streets in the morning and hiking up Elephant Mountain in the afternoon in 30-degree heat, I can't remember the last time I pushed myself so hard, sweating profusely. 🍽️Food Experience The advantage of walking is that you can easily find small shops you want to eat and drink at. I tried Hong Rui Zhen sandwiches, Louisa Matcha Latte, 50 Lan Four Seasons Spring Tea, Xiao Wang Stewed Melon Pork Rice, and Fishbone Egg Cake. I basically ate everything I wanted in Taipei, and I couldn't fit any more food in my stomach. I hope to find even more delicious food at my next stop🙏.

In the early morning, I ascended the trail of Elephant Mountain, the cool air carrying the fresh scent of vegetation. The stone steps wind through the forest, surrounded by lush greenery. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows, as if draping the city in a natural veil. As I walked, occasional breezes gently brushed by, isolating the city's hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain. Upon reaching the summit of Elephant Mountain, the large stone platform resembled a viewing stage, offering a panoramic view of Taipei's most magnificent scenery.

Elephant Mountain is one of Taipei’s well-known hiking spots. For beginners, this hiking trail is a friendly and easy-to-use option. Climbing up the stone steps felt relatively easy at first, but as the height increased, my heartbeat gradually accelerated. Fortunately, there are many resting platforms along the trail, which gave me a chance to take a breath and enjoy the beautiful views of the city from different angles along the way. After climbing to the viewing platform of Xiangshan, the view of Taipei 101 and the entire city in front of us made all the hard work worth it. The trails in Xiangshan are clear and well maintained. Even if it is your first time, you will not have any trouble getting lost. This hike to Elephant Mountain made me realize that even beginners can enjoy mountain climbing. At the same time, it is recommended that first-time visitors remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring enough water to maintain good physical strength and welcome the beauty of Xiangshan with ease. #climb mountains

Very beautiful temple in the middle of the forest. If you are a hiker, walking on the Four Animals Mountains (SiShouShan trail), you can pass that temple between Elephant mountain and Leopard mountain. It pops up on the way, providing a nice surprise due to its vivid paintings, beautiful wall carvings and roof decoration. It deserves a stop, eventually a prayer and it will give back a peace moment. I wish I could know what is its relation with the "North Star". #100waysoftravel #北星寶宮 #taiwan2024

I visited the Xiangshan Observation Deck in Taipei. Why didn't I realize it was a mountain before going... It turned out to be a more serious hike than I expected. But you can reach the top in about 30 minutes. There's a first viewpoint midway, and I was really tempted to just stop there because I was tired. But since the purpose of this Taipei trip was to see the night view from Xiangshan Observation Deck, I decided to go all the way up. The view from the midway point is great, but it's even better from the top. I wanted to see the sunset, so I started hiking around 6 PM. Luckily, I reached the top before the sun set and got to enjoy both the sunset and the night view. The hike was tough, but the night view made it all worth it! And make sure to bring a bottle of water with you when you go up!

📍 No. 31, Alley 401, Lane 150, Section 5, Xinyi Rd, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 110 Xiangshan, a popular destination in Taiwan, is a great place for a leisurely walk as it takes only about 40 minutes to an hour for a round trip, making it not too strenuous. From the top of Xiangshan, you can get a direct view of Taipei 101, the landmark of Taipei. While the view from the Taipei 101 Observatory is spectacular, the scenery of Taiwan from Xiangshan is also grand and impressive. Since it's a hike, those visiting to see the night view should be cautious and ensure their safety.

Finally have the chance to go to elephant hill . The view of Taipei 101 is spectacular. It’s a tiring climb and you need to conquer several flight of stairs before going up to the top. As you climbed, there are also several pavilion viewing spot which you can take a rest and catch the different views of Taipei. Personally I find that taking a bus is much more Convenient than the metro. Or you can take a cab there. If you take the metro, you need to walk about 20 min by foot before reaching the elephant hill. If you are in taipei, you can do a light hike to this spot and take in the sights of Taipei #travellerswonderland #象山 #台北

Taiwan offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity, making it an exciting destination for travelers seeking diverse experiences in culture, food, and nature.

#Overseas travel #Taiwan travel 📌 Xiangshan Observatory 📍 No. 31, Alley 401, Lane 150, Section 5, Xinyi Rd, Xinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 110 Xiangshan Observatory is located in downtown Taiwan and is a mountain that you can easily climb in a round trip of 1 hour to the top. It is a place that many locals and tourists visit, and it is beautiful during the day, but it is also a place with a night view. There are many stairs and some steep parts, so I recommend visiting during the day rather than at night. If you visit on a nice day, you can see the Taipei 101 Tower, a landmark of Taiwan, with a clear view. There are several ways to get to the observatory, but I recommend starting from the entrance of Xiangshan to avoid getting lost in the mountains. #Taiwan #Places to visit in Taiwan #Xiangshan #象山 #taipei #taipeitrip #taipeitravel #taiwan #taiwantravel #xiangshan
